A. Stan Mayfield Working Waterfront Dabrowski Purchase (City Manager Transmittal)
The City Manager said staff is very close to the end of the grant procurement portion of the
process and noted the packet recapped the grant application, the City's efforts in obtaining
the property to create the working waterfront. He said the Florida Communities Trust (FCT)
has negotiated a price over appraised price and he was seeking authority to move forward
as the price is over the assessed value.

John Conway, Chair, Working Waterfront Committee, read from a report of the
Committee. (see attached)
He said the project was to stimulate the commercial fishing industry, provide waterfront
destination for water enthusiasts, educate the public about fishing, and promote the
historic fishing industry which will increase area hotel, food, and beverage services. He
said the Committee recommendation is to move forward and close on the property.
The City Manager said going forward the Dabrowski parcel has become critical because
of the need of the working waterfront which was going to be the heartbeat of the project.
He recommended putting together the two parcels and lease out for both uses, noting the
Fishing Co -op are the best people to do that.
He offered three options to the CRA Board as set out in the agenda packet:
1) Give him authorization to purchase the Dabrowski parcel at $750,000
2) Give a counteroffer to the trustee
3) Deny the offer
He said the project has merit and is a classic example of the use of redevelopment dollars.
He also said there are some budget ramifications if they spill over and he can explain where
to get the money from.
6. PUBLIC INPUT
Damien Gilliams, 1623 US Highway 1, disagreed with the project, citing the current
economy, inappropriate use of CRA funds, new regulations being imposed on the fishing
industry, and taking prime property off the market.
Sal Neglia, Member of the Working Waterfront Committee, said he thought earlier it would
be a good thing for City but he was under the assumption it would be a museum, and
education center, didn't think there would be enough money for the CAVCORP property and
cited the Archie Carr property purchased by the County. He urged the Board to give it a lot
of thought.
Barbara Salmon, Member of the Working Waterfront Committee, spoke in favor of the
project, said there are a lot of interested people waiting to see if the City purchases the
Dabrowski property, and CAVCORP can wait.
Louise Kautenburg said if you do nothing, nothing will happen but continual degradation of
the area, said this week three people told her they purchased Sebastian property because
of the Main Street boat ramp improvements.
Chris Pinson said this town has done nothing for the commercial fisherman, it is worth
the investment, otherwise it will be bought for condos and docks, and there are a
number of business opportunities to go in there, and if the City is going to make an
offer, there should be a letter of intent to sell at a specific price.

Ed Herlihy, Sebastian, said this Council voted to start the working waterfront project, he
strongly urged Council to approve option number two, allowing the City Manager to see
if he can get a lower price.
Mayor Gillmor asked everyone to recall the amount of time spent on the Main Street
project which has been a wonderful, but said it is hard to pay more money than what it
appraises for.
MOTION by Mayor Gillmor and SECOND by Ms. Coy to approve chart number two,
bringing this back to the City Manager to negotiate at $571,000 which will still brings
the City in under budget.
Mr. Wolff said when the City Manager started off he mentioned the collaboration with
Fisherman's Landing, to which Council had sent a letter of support to FCT for their
grant application but we were not privy to the application. He asked the City Manager
for details on the collaboration between the City and Fisherman's Landing.
The City Manager explained at the time that Council submitted a supporting
resolution, Fisherman's Landing was not prepared /willing to share and after the
grants closed up, we received a copy of the grant. He said their grant estimated a $2
M purchase for Dabrowski and their goals matched the "A" purpose of the grant
which was to invest and rebuild a working waterfront with piers, docks, kiosks, fishing
house. He explained Fisherman's Landing pays expenses to the Dabrowski trust
now, they want to purchase that ground and invest back what they pay now. He said
the "B" portion was to be the ancillary items to include restaurants, museums and as
the City got more into it, the City found some things couldn't be as business
enterprising as we wanted, so the Committee decided to buy the property.
Mr. Wolff asked what investments or securities Fisherman's Landing might have.
The City Manager said he knows of the investments they put into the dock and the
expenses they pay now.
Mr. Wolff asked if Fisherman's Landing, Inc. would be the sole recipient of the lease
or will it be an RFP process that is open to others.
The City Manager explained that the City should lease it with Fisherman's Landing
because as the Committee was working on Hurricane Harbor and Sebastian
Entertainment's business plan, the Committee decided to obtain a RFP for a fish
market, an ice depot, and eco tours. The City only received one proposal but the
feedback was that the fisherman weren't interested in filling out paperwork that
doesn't have working waterfront next to it. He said the use of the property without
the Dabrowski purchase is in limbo but without the security of knowing there will be
an actual waterfront, the City lost the fishermen's interest.

Mr. Wolff said he wanted to understand the statement that they had said they were
not interested in it if the Dabrowski property was not included so he contacted the
City Clerk to find it in minutes of the public meetings that it came from but they could
not find any.
Mr. Wolff asked the City Manager if he buys into the concept of single property
leased to Fisherman's Landing.
The City Manager said he didn't foresee a unity of title but a lease over two parcels
that depict what Fisherman's Landing is to do at the Dabrowski parcel and they will
take charge of the Hurricane Harbor building, in exchange for the price of a lease.
The City Manager said he sees a lease over the two parcels and in exchange for what
we want them to do. The City needs to be extremely reasonable with the lease price to
make sure the fishermen are investing back into the property.
Mr. Wolff asked how that reconciles with other business owners in the district that have
similar businesses.
The City Manager said the FCT rules benefit the businesses that support commercial
fisherman such as packing houses, retail fish market, museums so we will try not to
compete with the businesses on Indian River Drive.
Mr. Wolff said the trustee has an appraisal for $1.5 M and he asked if the City Manager
saw the appraisal. The City Manager said that is what the trustee represented to us, and
the FCT did an appraisal of $500,465. Mr. Wolff said it has been his experience that if
you can't see the appraisal, there is a good chance it is non existent, and asked why we
would purchase above the appraised amount in the worst real estate market in history.
The City Manager said this is a classic example of why government can't get good deal
when they purchase property because of the sunshine law, Dabrowski had in his mind that
his property was worth $2 M which carried over to Fisherman's Landing opinion and they
agreed even though the market was declining, and as the City moved forward, we leaned
on appraised value numbers where there was $1M gap and at every turn they used our
documentation to keep the offer high.
He continued to say that the perceived values, and our planning for it brings us to where
we are at today and this is where we ask is the intrinsic value worth the extra $250,000 and
he didn't want to give his opinion because it compromises what he goes back to the state
with.
Mr. Wolff said we have been working on word of mouth, we have nothing in writing and it
makes the decision difficult. He said he did some research and cited an article dated Sept.
2008 regarding the Archie Smith House and comments from County Environmental Chief
Roland DeBois who was interested in using Stan Mayfield Grant Program to teach others
about Florida's commercial fishing heritage. He said he put that out there because this
began in 2006 and he hoped Council could draw some conclusions from this.

6:28 pm Mr. Hill said we are not going to be able to finish this and it would be in the best interest of
all if we table this until we can put an entire meeting together, this is a critically important
issue for the City of Sebastian, there are a lot of numbers being thrown around and we need
to dissect those numbers to see if they are fair. He said the City of Sebastian has no
intention of offering $750,000 for anything, rather we are considering a much smaller
amount to help the state purchase it.
Mr. Hill said again he thought we should table this and have a CRA meeting in the future
that is completely devoted to this subject.
Ms. Coy said she agreed but she didn't want to end the meeting with a negative taste in
people's mouth. She pointed out that as a member of the County's Land Acquisition
Committee, she did encourage the County to buy the Archie Smith parcel along with an
attached parcel, but Archie Smith doesn't have a channel to get the boats in and out of. She
said it could replicate a working waterfront but could never be a working waterfront.
Mr. Wright said he thought it would be a wonderful project; the City has spent 10 years
coming up with visions for the waterfront. He also said the Archie Smith project was never
managed by the City or fishermen so it's quite different, and suggested another hour to
dedicate time and effort to it, or could go along with the counter offer, which in his opinion
would be rejected.
Mayor Gillmor thanked everyone for their comments, said he wanted to bring this to
some resolution tonight because it is difficult to negotiate in the sunshine, but the motion
is to negotiate and if it fails, we may get another number from the Trust. He said he
appreciated Mr. Hill's idea to table but we do have a motion and second on the floor and
called the question.
Ms. Coy said she was not done even though she seconded and wanted to discuss
further.
Mr. Wolff asked if there was a sounding made for the water's depth. The City Manager
said it is functional now so he thought it was deep enough for boats to get in and out.
Ms. Coy said she would like to discuss this matter further before voting. She asked the
City Attorney if they could pick up exactly where they left off if they continued the
meeting.
The City Attorney said they could but there was no second to the motion to table. The
City Clerk noted there had not been a motion to table and Mr. Hill said he made that
motion.
Ms. Coy seconded the motion to table.
The City Attorney advised that a motion to table takes precedence over the Mayor's
motion.

History of the Sebastian Community Redevelopment Agency (Sebastian CRA)
The Sebastian Community Redevelopment Agency (Sebastian CRA) was created in 1995 by the
City of Sebastian City Council under Chapter 163, Part III of the Florida Statutes. The original
Sebastian CRA includes an area generally east of the FEC Railroad right -of -way to the eastern City
limits. The Sebastian CRA was established to ensure that the downtown and surrounding vicinity
would develop with a coherent community vision, and to encourage reinvestment throughout the
CRA. The area later was expanded in 2003 to include the Sebastian Boulevard "Triangle" area west
of the FEC Railroad right -of -way. The total Sebastian CRA area is 299 acres excluding road rights
of -way (Exhibit 1).
The governing body of the Sebastian CRA is the Sebastian City Council. The Board is comprised of
five (5) members. Under the State Statutes and the City ordinances, the Sebastian CRA has
substantial powers and authority within the Sebastian CRA area. These include the power to make
and execute contracts, to acquire and dispose property, to approve development plans, to implement
a program of voluntary or compulsory rehabilitation of buildings, to mortgage its property, to
borrow and invest money, and to apply for and accept grants and contributions.
The major funding source for the Sebastian CRA is tax increment revenue. Tax increment revenue
is the increase in ad valorem tax attributed to the increase in the assessed value over a `base year"
for various jurisdictions in the redevelopment area. The jurisdictions remitting tax increment
revenue to the Sebastian CRA are the City of Sebastian and the Indian River County Board of
County Commissioners.
After the establishment of the Sebastian CRA in 1995, the City established the Redevelopment
Trust Fund and the base year for tax increment revenues as well as adopted the 1995 Community
Redevelopment Plan. The boundary was later expanded to include the adjacent Sebastian Boulevard
"Triangle" area in 2003, and the redevelopment plan was also modified by the Iler Planning Group
on behalf of the Sebastian CRA. The 2003 plan basically unifies the 1995 Sebastian CRA boundary
and the expansion area as one cohesive CRA, and presents conceptual district recommendations,
potential policy amendments, and capital improvements intended to meet the City's redevelopment
goals.

Tax Increment Revenue
The tax increment revenue is determined annually as 95 percent of the difference between: (a) the
amount of ad valorem taxes levied each year by each taxing authority contributing to the Sebastian
CRA on taxable real property contained within the redevelopment area, exclusive of the following
entities:
Florida Inland Navigation District
Indian River County Mosquito Control District
Indian River County Hospital Maintenance District
School District, and associated General Obligation Debt funded by ad valorem taxes
Indian River County Land Acquisition Bond General Obligation Debt
Emergency Services Dependent Taxing District
St. Johns River Water Management District
Sebastian Inlet Taxing District
and (b) the amount of ad valorem taxes which would have been generated by the rate at which the
tax is levied each year by the taxing authority, exclusive of the following entities:
Florida Inland Navigation District
Indian River County Mosquito Control District
Indian River County Hospital Maintenance District
School District, and associated General Obligation Debt funded by ad valorem taxes
Indian River County Land Acquisition Bond General obligation Debt
Emergency Services Dependent Taxing District
St. Johns River Water Management District
Sebastian Inlet Taxing District
upon the total of the assessed value of the taxable real property in the community redevelopment
area as shown on the assessment roll used by each taxing authority prior to March 22, 1995, the
effective date of the ordinance creating the Redevelopment Trust Fund. Indian River County Board
of County Commissioners and the City of Sebastian currently make tax increment payments into the
Sebastian CRA Trust Fund.

The actual implementation of the tax increment financing was delayed until FY 2001. The City's
millage rate has decreased from $5.00 per $1,000 in FY 2001 to $3.3456 per $1,000 in FY 2009.
The millage for Indian River County has been decreased from $4.1014 per $1,000 in FY 2001 to
$3.0689 per $1,000 in FY 2009. The millage rates from 2001 through 2009 are presented in Exhibit

Sebastian CRA has been treated as a major fund of the City. The financial statements included

SUMMARY
In further beautification efforts along Indian River Drive, I requested that Council hire, Schulke, Bittle and Stoddard
(SBS) to prepare a Cavcorp" conceptual plan. Implementing such beautification projects in the redevelopment
district will continue to (1) improve parking; (2) promote the enhancement of the riverfront; (3) increase landscaping
improvements; and, (4) create a more "down -town" theme in the community.
SBS has now completed that plan and it is ready for Council review and consideration. While the Cavcorp project will
repeat the overall redevelopment goals mentioned in the previous paragraph, specifically the plan does the following:
1. Redefines and landscapes the Cavcorp parking lot in order to improve (1) aesthetics; (2) boat trailer parking
capacity; and, (3) parking lot ingress /egress.
2. Close Sebastian Boulevard in order to create a riverfront "promenade These features add a centerpiece for
Riverview Park; thereby, providing "panache" for a major community passive recreational area that encourages
social assembly and gathering.
3. Addresses the current condition of Cleveland and Coolidge streets by improving the existing street surfaces and
adding landscape and additional "on- street" parking.
For your review are two concepts and an initial cost estimate of $947,892.95
While $750,000 is allocated for this project in FY 2010, no project funds need to be spent. However, if Council is
happy with the design concepts and would like to move forward with the project, a portion of this allocation can be
used to move into a full design phase. This process will lead the City through workshops, public hearings, final
design, and ultimately to actually starting a construction procurement stage. Below is a rough time line establishing a
project calendar.
